These August quotes will make the perfect quotes for:
We often compare the four seasons to the four stages of kehidupan—spring is infancy, summer is adolescence, autumn is adulthood, and winter is old age.
Transitioning from childhood to adulthood can be difficult.
You spent the summer (your childhood) playing outside and being carefree, and now, suddenly, you’re off to college, you have a real-world job, you’re getting married, you’re buying a house, you’re having a baby.
Years are passing by quicker, and you have a feeling that just as suddenly as August came, it will soon be December.
While the transition from summer to fall is often compared to the stages of kehidupan, it can be a metaphor for any disruption in the status quo.
Maybe it’s a move, a divorce, a new job, a new best friend, or the death of someone close.
Whatever the case, and whether or not we like it, transitions are a continuous part of kehidupan.
